Metric - US Customary

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200°c
  • Oil an ovenproof dish. Lay the chicken breasts in the dish. Cover each one with a rasher of bacon.
  • Cut the other rasher up and put the pieces around the chicken. Chop the mushrooms in half and also place around the chicken. Put the unpeeled garlic cloves between the chicken breasts.  Put in the oven for 30-40 minutes. I test the chicken with a meat thermometer to make sure it has reached 75℃
  • Take out of the oven. Remove the chicken but keep it warm.  Squeeze the garlic out of the skin. Add the cream and stock to the pan juices and heat through.
  • Mix the cornflour with a little cold water and stir in to thicken the sauce. 
  • Season with a little black pepper.
  • Serve with vegetables and potatoes.
